Love to see some more OC here!

So this is on Prince Patrick Island? I can't imagine how cold it is up there at 76° latitude (not that it looks too cold in your picture).

Yes. I was there as part of the environmental remediation crew, running instruments that were scanning for buried debris. It was August, so it only snowed every third day. I have a lot of photos from that site, including inside the facilities. I will trickle a few out now and again. :)

I have some fairly strong political opinions surrounding the cleanup (demolition) of these sites. I was getting paid as part of the process, but I really wish they'd have chosen to preserve them instead. The difference between a historical site and a contaminated site are really about the political lens you peer at them through. I took so many pictures because it was all coming down.
